Figure 14: Xgig Analyzer Blade Port Numbers
The Xgig 3/6 Gigabit SAS/SATA Wide-Port/4x blade and the Xgig5000 and Xgig1000 12G SAS
blades use the same numbering scheme to identify chassis, blade, and port – for example, (1,1,3).
The blade occupies two slots; a blade in the upper two slots is numbered as blade 1, and a blade in
the lower two slots is numbered as blade 2. Blade numbers 3 and 4 are not used.
For the Xgig 3/6 Gigabit SAS/SATA Wide-Port/4x blade and the Xgig5000 and Xgig1000 12G
SAS blades there are only two physical ports on the blade, and the two ports together compose a
4x wide link. You can only see individual port numbers within the wide link (numbered 1 through
8) through Xgig software; a single physical port on the blade has no direct correspondence to the
single logical port number. In the Domain Creation dialog, the first port in the left bank is logically
associated with the first port in the right bank to form a port-pair. For example, port number one in
the left connector is paired with port number two in the right connector to form a port pair.
When you use the eight ports on a 10G blade as 40G ports, only two ports are shown. These ports
are numbered 1 and 2.
